ITCZ Explained

ITCZ Explained. What Is It?. On or near the equator, where average solar radiation is greatest, air is warmed at the surface and rises. This creates a band of low air pressure, centered on the equator. This rising air comprises one segment of a circulation pattern called the Hadley Cell.
